Ways to Connect

Heidi and John visit with Tobi Aiyedun, a 2020 graduate from Bemidji State University with a masters degree in Biology. Tobi explains how a virtual graduation works, and how she felt about it compared to other graduations she has experienced in the past. She talks about the difficulties of finishing out the school year virtually and gives other 2020 graduates encouragment in these trying times.

The Reif Center and the MacRostie Art Center connected with ICTV to make First Friday happen despite people's inability to visit the galleries. Everyone is invited to watch a first ever virtual First Friday celebration in Grand Rapids. You can find it on ICTV Facebook and Youtube channels as well as Mediacom 2 & 7 and Paul Buny

Even though sports aren't happening right now, Fred Friedman and Kyle Erickson still had plenty to talk about on Thursday's Morning Show, including college eligibility, the Olympics postponement, and trivia.
